Maybe you’ve seen the pic pop up on you social media feeds over the years. It’s a goat listening intently to a punk band grinding through their set. You’ve probably asked yourself if it’s real or if it’s Photoshopped. It’s real, and it’s spectacular.

It’s story time, kids. Let’s learn about Biquette, the grindcore goat who was rescued by punks.

• Who was Biquette?

  Like you probably did, I’d see pics of Biquette here and there on the net for years, and have a hearty chuckle. But it was late last year that Boston rocker and photographer Duncan Wilder Johnson shared Biquette’s story.

  The goat who loved grindcore! Sadly, I believe she passed away. Rest in power Biquette.From one of the many metal...

• So, this is real?

  Of course, this being Facebook, I needed to verify the information.

  Biquette the goat, sold to an abattoir after she stopped producing milk but was rescued by punks and then spent 10 years watching grindcore bands. She could come and go as she pleased and, in the words of her rescuers, “escaped death, lived punk”. Absolute legend. pic.twitter.com/CdCoOajz1c
